CNN’s hormonal lady voters
Washington Post ^

Oh dear . . . again.

It looks like CNN has removed the article:

"After further review it was determined that some elements of the story did not meet the editorial standards of CNN," the site notes.

Oh dear.

CNN has managed to dig up one of those mysterious Studies that emerge from time to time to enrage the Internet.

The article begins: “While the campaigns eagerly pursue female voters, there’s something that may raise the chances for both presidential candidates that’s totally out of their control: women’s ovulation cycles.

“You read that right. New research suggests that hormones may influence female voting choices differently, depending on whether a woman is single or in a committed relationship.”

And it’s downhill from there.

From later in the piece:

“The most controversial part of the study is not only that hormonal cycles are linked to women’s preferences for candidates and voting behaviors, but also that single women who are ovulating are more likely to be socially liberal, and relationship-committed women are more likely to be socially conservative, said Paul Kellstedt, associate professor of political science at Texas A&M University.”

Beware all the single ladies!

In related news, Romney has erased the gender gap in polls.

Cnn has binders full of hormonal women, and manwomen on their staff. I think they actively recruit them...

How many women will vote for Romney, because they want Mitt to turn around the economy, so their good for nothing, lazy, staying at home husband goes and gets a job finally? I bet it’s the margin of change....

I’m thinking 2008 based on the 2008 slogans.

Must be. Obama doesn’t get that kind of enthusiasm anymore. Obama crowds looks to be full of people forced to be there by their union masters by the threat of a fine.
